Not so great divide

It doesn't happen that often but every now and then Chivas USA and the Galaxy will practice pretty much right next to each other.

There are quite a few fields around Home Depot Center. The Galaxy, for instance, trained at Field 4 for most of the 2005 season and Field 6 most of last year. Chivas USA trained on University Field 2 for most of the 2006 season and the 2005 one as well. I don't know if there are some fields reserved for the national teams or what but more clubs should train down at Field 4. That and Field 1 are probably my favorite training grounds but the teams hardly ever use them. Chivas USA is more often than not on the University fields while the Galaxy has settled into Field 6.

I'm sure when David Beckham gets here the Galaxy will find a more stable place to hold its training session. Also, with Becks here, there will be more media out there than there was on Wednesday. On Wednesday, it was just me and the Galaxy's MLSnet writer, Greg Daurio, and the Fox Sports Net crew. Andrea arrived after I shot this video. I'm sure with Becks here there will be 20 times the amount of media out there and the Galaxy will hold their training sessions in a secure location.
